Question

How do I use Windows Authentication to connect to an Oracle database?

Currently, I just use an Oracle Username and password, however, a requirement is to give the user on install the option of selecting Windows Authentication since we offer the same as SQL.

Was it helpful?

Solution

You need to modify the AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES entry in SQLNET.ORA to this:

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)

As well, you will need to setup the accounts in Oracle to match the Windows accounts. Have a look at http://www.dba-oracle.com/bk_sqlnet_authentication_services.htm for more details.
